She revealed the big news via Twitter, writing, “So excited to share with you my new project, I will be a judge on DWTS Australia #istillcallaustraliahome.” Aww, we’re so excited for her, even though we’ll miss seeing Kym on DWTS here in America.

When Kym originally said she was leaving DWTS, she noted that she was just taking a break in Season 17 to “accept an amazing work opportunity back in Australia,” and this definitely fits the description!

This also explains why she was “excited, nervous, and humbled” by the opportunity. This is her first time behind the judges’ table, but hey — maybe she can get some tips from Len, Carrie Ann, and Bruno before she jets off to Australia!
